2018-2019: "THE JEWISH RESPONSE TO OUR CONTEMPORARY WORLD"

This year's adult education program centers around the theme of "Our Jewish Response to our Contemporary World": Together, we will learn how we as Jews can respond to the many compelling issues we see in our communities, our nation, and in our world. Our hope is that learning together throughout this coming year will help us as individuals, as families, and as a community find ways to respond to very serious issues of social justice — in immigration, health care, economic justice, hate crimes, racism, sexual violence, LGBTQ issues, and climate change. Some programs will be integrated into our Shabbat services, and others will occur at other times.

All programs are open to everyone, including members and non-members. See the events below, and look for updates on this page throughout the year.
